![]() You can buy premium models with coins that are earned by using the website or with real money (99 cents will buy 100 credits). Creality Cloud is for gamified file sharing, shopping, socializing, slicing and sending prints to your machines. I’m very happy to ditch the tiny micro SD cards, and especially happy to be able to send files right from the slicer using Wi-Fi or LAN.Ī note on Wi-Fi, which is accessed through a smart device and the Creality Cloud website. There are several ways to connect to the CR-M4: USB drive, USB-C cable, RJ45 cable, Wi-Fi and LAN. They also stay on while the machine is idling, which can be aggravating. The CR-M4 requires a lot of cooling, and the fans are noticeable. The printer has a 32-bit board and silent stepper motors, but it’s not that stealthy. If you want to use this printer with extra large spools, you’ll need to find a way to mount them to the ceiling or the wall above the printer. The strain of trying to pull material from a massive spool at a weird angle caused friction, embarrassing layer lines and even some under extrusion. I then ran the material up the printer, through a cable tie, into the top mounted filament runout sensor and back down to the direct drive. Knowing that the spool holder would break under the strain of a 5 pound roll, I used a table-top spool holder which I borrowed from a smaller printer. ![]() I had hoped to use an extra large spool for a four day, 2000+ gram print. I did find one flaw with the material rack, which is built for standard 1kg spools. The spool holder is mounted on top, just like an Ender, which cuts down the printer’s width. The printer is so large I had to run it sideways on my IKEA countertop, but the removable screen meant I didn’t have to strain my neck to fire up a print.
